Our eyes are not just the windows to the soul; they are also vital for clear vision and overall appearance. The eyelids, in particular, play an important role in protecting the eyes, maintaining tear film stability, and enhancing facial aesthetics. However, eyelid disorders are quite common and can affect people of all age groups. At Metro Eye Clinic, Marine Lines, South Mumbai, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of eyelid conditions with precision and care.

In this blog, we’ll explore the most common eyelid disorders, their symptoms, and the advanced treatment options available, including Drooping Eyelid Surgery, Eyelid Malposition Correction, and more.



Common Eyelid Disorders

1. Ptosis (Drooping Eyelids)

Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops over the eye, partially blocking vision. It can be present from birth (congenital ptosis) or develop later in life due to aging, injury, or neurological conditions. Apart from affecting appearance, ptosis can significantly impair vision if left untreated.

  • Treatment: At our clinic in Marine Lines, we offer Drooping Eyelid Surgery, which involves tightening or repositioning the eyelid muscle to restore normal function and improve both vision and aesthetics.

2. Eyelid Malpositions (Entropion and Ectropion)

  • Entropion: The eyelid turns inward, causing the lashes to rub against the cornea, leading to irritation and tearing.

  • Ectropion: The eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eye, resulting in dryness, redness, and discomfort.

  • Treatment: We provide Eyelid Malposition Correction using advanced surgical techniques to restore the eyelid to its natural position, preventing further damage to the eye surface.

3. Blocked Tear Ducts

Blocked tear ducts can cause excessive tearing, recurrent infections, and discomfort. To diagnose this, we perform a Tear Drainage Patency Test at our clinic in South Mumbai. This test helps determine whether the tear drainage system is functioning properly.

  • Treatment: For patients with persistent tear duct blockages, we perform Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery, which creates a new passage for tear drainage, relieving symptoms effectively.

4. Cosmetic Concerns and Eyelid Abnormalities

Many patients seek correction for puffiness, under-eye bags, or deformities caused by trauma or previous surgeries. At Metro Eye Clinic, Marine Lines, we offer Cosmetic Eyelid and Orbital Corrections that enhance facial harmony while ensuring natural results.

5. Thyroid Eye Disease

Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition that causes swelling, bulging of the eyes, and eyelid retraction. If untreated, it can lead to vision problems.

  • Treatment: We provide Thyroid Eye Disease Correction, which includes medical and surgical interventions to reduce eye bulging, improve eyelid position, and restore eye comfort.
